Hot Damn! Kinky is on the ballot

Running for governor of Texas is former country music star and mystery writer Kinky Friedman. This report from the Austin American-Statesman confirms that he will be on the ballot on November.
Texas voters trolling for change have placed independent gubernatorial candidates Kinky Friedman and Carole Keeton Strayhorn on the November ballot, making the humorist-singer and state comptroller the first independent hopefuls on the statewide ballot since Sam Houston in 1859.

They will vie against GOP Gov. Rick Perry, Democratic nominee Chris Bell and Libertarian Party choice James Werner, constituting the longest list of governor hopefuls since 1974.
Kinky, who gave us country & western standards like "They Ain't Making Jews Like Jesus Anymore", "Get Your Biscuits In The Oven And Your Buns In The Bed" and "The Ballad of Charles Whitman", would bring a much needed dose of reality to Texas politics. Starting with simple hard hitting questions like "Why the Hell not? and "How hard can it be?"Kinky has developed a platform of issues important to the people of Texas. Go visit his website and give him some love, and get yourself some cool stuff.

Why the Hell not?
